From 1953 to 1958, he studied architecture at Bournemouth College of Art, and then moved to the Architectural Association School of Architecture in London, graduating in 1960. He later returned to the AA as a teacher. While working in the office of James Cubitt & Partners, Cook was one of the founder members of the influential Archigram group in the 1960s. He was Director of the Institute of Contemporary Arts (ICA) in London, from 1970 to 1972. He was appointed Life Professor at the Staedelschule (Art Academy) of Frankfurt in 1984, helping establish its reputation as one of the leading German architecture schools.

In 2004, he was shortlisted for the Stirling Prize with Colin Fournier for the Kunsthaus Graz.
